Many people are unaware of the joys of having a fruit tree in the garden, especially one which is in full bloom and produces delicious fruits regularly.

If you are an ardent gardener then you can plant whichever tree you like but if you are just starting out then you should choose something that is easy to maintain and produces good harvest as well – this can be anything like persimmons, pears, peaches, feijoa, plums, citrus and so on. 

Having a fruit tree in your garden will help add to the greenery and it also provides shade. However growing a tree is no easy task as there are lots of factors that play an important role like birds, pests, climate, convenience of purchasing it from the market and so on. Taking these factors into account is an aspect of gardening which should never be overlooked.

If you plan to grow a tree until it reaches its maturity stage and produces fruit then you will have to make sure that it experiences a healthy growth. In order to ensure this, it is important to plant the tree in fertile soil and it should be free from diseases as well as pests. Also if you do not want to eat the fruits eaten by birds first then you will need to protect the fruits when they ripen.

Something like Feijoa is extremely good for one’s home garden. When you plant this tree all you need to do is to trim and prune regularly so that it would look like a medium sized hedge. The Feijoa tree is very good as an ornamental tree because it produces white and red flowers which look very nice in summer. Also, since this tree produces a large amount of a fruit even at an early age, its utility is not a concern at all.

Citrus fruit tree is an equally rewarding option and apart from blending well with your green garden, its fruits are known world wide and its size fits perfectly well in your garden. In terms of maintenance, you will need a proper soil drainage system and occasional helpings of manure. With just minimum tending citrus tree will grow into a healthy tree that yields a lot of fruits.

As with any garden project there will of course be some pruning and maintenance. You may want to get some gardening equipment.  You’ll find weed eaters for sale and the best grass trimmers for sale online or at your local gardening store.

As a gardener you can deviate from traditional methods and experiment with companion gardening. This is a concept in which different types of plants are planted next to each other so that they can mutually benefit each other in terms of nutrition, pollination, growth and other aspects and grow well together. 

There is a concept in home gardening known as ‘three sisters’. In this concept various species of neighboring plants help one another to grow, get protection against enemies and also provide shade.

For instance, you can plant pole beans and corn together so that the corn would perform the function of a natural support on which the beans can climb up and at the same time benefit the corn by maintaining a level of nitrogen in the soil. 

Another method of home gardening is known as the push-pull method. In this method the plants which are more vulnerable to pests are planted among the species that are not so prone to pests.

This method is also known as trap cropping and it helps in saving the amount of chemicals or pesticides used.
